Ok, lesson learned, never mention sin at an ice-cream joint. You’ll utterly embarrass yourself.
Gerald: I’ll have the sundae.
Counter Girl: Toppings?
Gerald: erm..
Counter Girl: Fudge or Caramel?
Gerald (Bewildered Pause): Fudge, I guess.
Counter Girl: Sprinkled or laced?
Gerald: Huh?
Counter Girl: Sprinkled?
Gerald: Erm (Pause), ya ok la.
(She prepares the ice-cream prob not knowing that wasn’t exactly what I wanted)
Gerald (Obviously trying real hard to strike a conversation): These things, they’re sinful aren’t they?
Counter Girl (Chirpily): No la, the Vancho Monster is even worst, that is really sinful!
EVERYONE THINKS GERALD’S A TWIT!
Counter Girl: (Enthusiastically): There is so many of you ar, you all really should try the Vancho Monster, it’s worth it.
Yes, we live in real challenging times where sin is deducted from the amount of calories you consume in your food. We can never say we were spoilt for choice.
